This
39’ Single Dome Tank Car is painted green with the British Columbia
Railway dogwood logo colored orange green and white, and white
road number dimensional data lettering. It was built sometime
in the 1920s, serviced and repainted in February 1978, and runs
on Bettendorf trucks. Built in the 1920s for diesel fuel service,
this BCOL tanker
originally wore an earlier Pacific Great Eastern paint scheme.
Numbered into the 1903-1953 series, the road’s name was changed
to British Columbia Railway in 1972. In February 1978, the tanker
received the traditional BCOL livery at the North Vancouver shops
(NV). Assigned again to diesel fuel service, the tanker uses a
stencil box configuration that was introduced in 1972 and used
through 1974. The U-1 wheel inspection stencil is yellow indicating
that the wheels have been inspected and declared safe. |
